In this step, you check the assignments of cost elements, commitment items, and statistical key figures to value categories.
When you access the program, you specify the controlling area and/or FM are you want to conduct the check.
On completion of the check, the system displays a list containing information on value category assignment in the controlling area and/or FM area.
The traffic signals at the end of a node are used to direct the search for errors:
Green : There are no incorrect assignments below this hierarchy level.
Amber : There are unassigned cost elements or
commitment items, or the
cost element/commitment item shown in the value category does
not exist in the system.
The value category contains cost elements or statistical key
figures with units of measure which cannot be converted.
Red : There are serious assignment errors.
Examples: A cost element has been assigned to more than one
category or cost elements with different debit types
(cost/revenues) were assigned to a value category.
: Cost elements or commitment items were assigned
to a value category for statistical key figures, or
vice versa.
: A statistical key figure with fixed values is
assigned to a value category for statistical key
figures.
The traffic signal color is passed up through
the hierarchy.
In addition, the cost elements are shown in different colors, by cost element
category.
Different colors are used for the following
cost element categories and
commitment items:
Costs and credit-side payments
Revenues and debit-side payments
Not defined
Where assignments are correct, each value category must contain cost elements and commitment items of only one category. In addition, the value category type must agree with the category in the cost element or commitment item.
You can use the display and change buttons or
the Extras menu to access the display and change transactions directly from
this program, for the purpose of correcting the errors.
Press the Refresh button so that the changes are immediately evident in the
display.
